sooner than you think.

When are you going to get wheels that make your fenders worthwhile?

as soon as I can find the right offset... been looking and looking and looking...

the reason for the fenders weren't for wheels though... they were to rid the ugly flat edge (I hate that on all cars)... so my goal is accomplished.

Whats the reason for your excessively wide wheels? Other than slow you way down?

Possibly he got some big fatties back there was to get rid of the ugly pizza cutter tires that were back there in that case his mission was accomplished just like yours

I don't think I had a reason. I guess it was because I can. As you know, I bitched out (inside joke) and got sponsored on the wheels. The shop didnt charge me extra whether it was 6 inches or 11 inches. I went with my greedy instinct and went with as wide as I can since it was free. LOL

I'm getting supercharged in the near future, the car is not my daily, so I haven't really felt the effects yet. I do like coming home, opening up my garage as I pull in to see the wideness in the back though. That sight alone makes it all worthwhile.

surprisingly, wide 20 inch tires are quite cheap compared to its 19 and 18 inch counterparts.

the 19"s are only like 30 bucks more expensive than the 20"s for each tire, if that. Depending on width and brands off course

I woulda got the coolest, lightest wheels they had... but I'm glad you like 'em

You'll need TT power to put those 315s to work though... SC aint gonna cut it.
